General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Serine/threonine kinase which plays an important role in the regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, cell signaling, survival, and proliferation. Acts as an activator and inhibitor of sodium-coupled chloride cotransporters and potassium-coupled chloride cotransporters respectively. Activates SLC12A2, SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1D and SGK1 and inhibits SLC12A5. Negatively regulates the EGF-induced activation of the ERK/MAPK-pathway and the downstream cell cycle progression. Affects MAPK3/MAPK1 activity by modulating the activity of MAP2K1 and this modulation depends on phosphorylation of MAP2K1 by PAK1. WNK2 acts by interfering with the activity of PAK1 by controlling the balance of the activity of upstream regulators of PAK1 activity, RHOA and RAC1, which display reciprocal activity. Ref.8 Ref.10 Ref.13 |
| Catalytic activity | ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. |
| Cofactor | Magnesium By similarity. UniProtKB Q9H4A3 |
| Enzyme regulation | Activation requires autophosphorylation of Ser-356. Phosphorylation of Ser-352 also promotes increased activity By similarity. UniProtKB Q9JIH7 |
| Subunit structure | Forms a complex with the phosphorylated form of STK39 By similarity. |
| Subcellular location | |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in various cancer cell lines (at protein level). Predominantly expressed in heart, brain, skeletal muscle and colon. Ref.1 Ref.8 Ref.13 |
| Post-translational modification | |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. WNK subfamily. Contains 1 protein kinase domain. |
| Caution | Cys-224 is present instead of the conserved Lys which is expected to be an active site residue. Lys-207 appears to fulfill the required catalytic function. UniProtKB Q9JIH7 |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAH37965.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened. |
